An undermanned and lacklustre Nomads team lost their second game of the year when they played the Inverell Saints at Varley Oval on Saturday. The Nomads were outplayed by a Saints team that came to win and were hard at the ball right from the first bounce. There were some bright spots though in what was a dark day for the boys in green, with the backline playing above and beyond the call of duty. The Black Bear hunter Alex Shem was best on ground followed closely by Clarrie Barker who held strong at full back. Mitch Darton, Wulu Hall and Paddy Tobias battled valiantly across the half back line and Modra played a lone hand up forward and across the midfield. However, with the finals just around the corner, the team will need to improve rather rapidly. Final scores were 14.16.100 to 5.7.37. More »

A seventeen-man New England Nomads side defeated the Swans on Saturday in a game that started in daylight at 4.30 and ended under lights. Young guns Clarrie Barker and Cameron Graham revelled in the twilight, gaining disposals at will while Paddy Tobias was at the bottom of every contest. Steve Wilson dominated on the half-backine, Mitch Darton made a welcome return to green and black and newcomer Will Reynolds showed that he will be a player to watch with his clever leading and strong marking. Finals scores were 19.16.130 to 3.5.23. More »
